right on...most people blame the government. People keep forgetting that new jobs are being created for those who lose their jobs to third world countries. If we didn't, all the jobs that could be lost would be gone already.

Blaming the government or blaming India or China may feel good, and it might be at least partially correct, but it doesn't accomplish anything.

It's up to the individual to figure out how to make a new living. No sugar daddy is going to offer someone a nifty new job simply because they blame their job loss on some evil entity.

Wrong. There is obviously an element of 'friction' in the pace of economic dislocation as the capital is re-routed to the newly-discovered opportunity. I.e., the collapse of U.S. employment and capital protections (due to the subversive perversion of the NAFTA treaty, followed by the even more disastrous WTO agreement by Comrade Xlinton overriding our national trade sovereignty), simultaneous with the relatively sudden interest and ability of the great pools of drastically-underpaid labor (China and India) to seek to exploit that capital influx.

This is THE paradigm shift of our times for modern U.S. management. Hence, It is a done deal. Those jobs ARE gone already. In the words of Hollywood: You just don't know you're dead already. The body just hasn't had time to cool yet.

E.g., Another 14 million service jobs are slated to go in less than 6 years. And as the manufacturing expertise of the Chinese 'partners' equals ours then no U.S. manufacturing will be able to resist the black-hole of Chinese wages. If the U.S. dollar didn't collapse first, EVERYthing will 'have' to be made in China.

All that will remain in the U.S. will be government jobs and necessarily local employment...construction, maintenance and service fields (Grocery, Gas Station, and other stores). All manufactures and all relocatable productive activities will be relocated to China. You just continue to refuse to see the National Security elements in trade...which Adam Smith expressly made an over-riding caveat to 'the unseen-hand' in his 'Wealth of Nations'.
